A beginning in the reversible logic synthesis of sequential circuits

This paper provides the initial threshold to building of more complex system having reversible sequential circuits as a primitive component and which can execute more complicated operations using quantum computers. The reversible circuits form the basic building block of quantum computers as all quantum operations are reversible. The important reversible gates used for reversible logic synthesis are Feynman Gate, New Gate and Fredkin gate. The novelty of the paper is the reversible designs of Flip Flops. The Flip Flops that are synthesized using reversible logic are RS Flip Flop, JK Flip Flop, D Flip Flop, T Flip Flop and Master Slave Flip Flop
